In a new McClatchy-Marist poll, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads Republican candidate Donald Trump by a landslide margin of 12 percentage points, 53 to 41. In the McClatchy poll, Sanders also leads former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) by a landslide margin of 10 points, 51 to 41.
The huge Sanders advantage over Trump is not new. In the last four match-up polls between them reported by Real Clear Politics, Sanders defeated Trump by margins of 12, 9, 9 and 2 percentage points.
It is shocking that the data suggests that Sanders has a lead over Trump that could be so huge that he would win a landslide victory in the presidential campaign, with margins that would almost certainly lead Democrats to regain control of the Senate and could help Democrats regain control of the House of Representative — if, of course, the three polls that show Sanders beating Trump by 9 to 12 points reflect final voting in the presidential election.

Speaking of polls, WAPO reports Carson said on Friday that the Terri Schiavo euthanasia event, in Florida, was “much adieu about nothing”.
Dying to see how that crap flies with evangelical purists supporting Mr. Rogers.
This ridiculous answer was a part of a discussion where his remarks appeared quite dispassionate about her condition in the first place, but when asked about the Congressional action (that was taken with hope to feed her and to keep her hydrated) was “much adieu about nothing”.
Oh my. That would sure lose me if I supported him. He is stepping on himself with the supposed “values” voters. They either have values and dump him, or they don’t really value the life issues they moo about. Cafeteria Christians might hold with Carson though, and there are plenty of those.
If this poll is accurate, then it means that the free-stuff gimmee gimmee crowd have become the majority.
Please, someone tell me it’s BS or else I’ll have to take a sedative and get to bed early tonite.
Yeah, sure, and I own two skyscrapers in downtown New York City that I’ll sell ya for $1,000.
You’re probably right.
As goes Vermont on gun control, so goes the nation......
a lot of democrats already have sour feelings towards Hilary, I’ll bet this poll makes them reconsider even more.
It’s going to be about getting out the vote and in strategic districts. Philadelphia was a sweep for Obama.
You need read no further. McClatchy = Obama fan boys.
GOP candidates focus only on Hillary.
Voters nationwide have not been exposed to Sanders full-on leftism yet.
Exactly. Everybody loves Trump, because he is so wonderful and wise and strong. His mommy said so.
Who was it that suggested the Republic would last until people realized they could vote themselves largess from the public treasury? Guess what? The Republic is dead.
I fear you’re correct.
Trump wouldn't allow the media to continue protecting Bernie.
